Cold Equations by David Mack???

Well, there was a very brief shot of Wesley in uniform in the final film, which is why ATFW,ATFP needed to explain it; but the part where he had dialogue about being back in Starfleet (and about to join Riker's Titan crew, IIRC) was deleted.

I must have watched the deleted scene and mistakenly remembered it as part of the movie.

Or also perhaps read the novelization.

Note that Wesley is not visible in the movie unless you're seeing it in widescreen. He's down one end of the table. The table is shown from both directions but in the TV aspect version of the DVD, he's cropped off, confusing people who see Wheaton's name in the closing credits.

In Book Three, The Body Electric, the Enterprise crew is brought to the center of the Milky Way by an old friend — Traveler and former shipmate Wesley Crusher — to try to stop a massive sentient machine whose mysterious labors threaten the future of every civilization in the galaxy.

The human Reaper that Commander Shepard fought in 2185. Should have checked to make sure it was actually dead!
